"You can't do that. Joey is a powerful witch. You cannot enter him until he gives permission or calls you in himself," Celia said. 

"He did," Ara laughed. 

"You still have to touch his head with his permission," Rumi said. 

"We did that too. Didn't we Joey?" Ara entered him saying that. Joey felt like touching a high power electric bulb. He felt an enormous shock throughout his body. 

Debbie came running to him, "remember son. This is the last test. The greatest obstacle."

Joey lost the control to his mind and body completely as he heard these words. Shooni was inside him. It felt like he was someone else. He took a step forward towards Daniel. The police officer pulled him with all the force. Joey saw his face. 

"Pietro," he mumbled. He was surprised Joey knew his name. Shooni used that single moment and shun him away. It created a huge death ball and threw it towards Daniel. 

Debbie passed between the ball and Daniel in the last moment. The ball stuck her. She fell down dead. "No," Joey shouted at the top of his voice.  

"The greatest obstacle is the one that the mirror reflects. It is me. The mirror reflects me. I am the obstacle. Danger. I can control everything if I control myself. I called Shooni in. I am letting it out now. Get lost you mean, tricky spirit Shooni," he pushed it out with all his might. 

Shooni was thrown out of his body. Joey's clock showed the 7:00:00. Shooni's time was up. It started to disintegrate with enormous ferocity. 

"Quick, all of you form a pentagon. Shooni will get back into the revolving clock. We should destroy it before that," Hippolyta said. 

Nicole, Celia, Joey and Hippolyta joined hands. Debbie was out on the ground. Shooni gave another demonic laugh. 

"Shall I join? Will my powers help? I know the spell. I can chant" Rumi asked. 

"No. You have to be a born witch. You are weak. Your powers won't be enough," the priest said. 

"Never mind. Whatever little help I can be," she said an joined the pentagon. She started chanting along with Celia. 

"Pietro come here," Joey called, "hold Rumi. Pass your powers onto her. Let her chant. You give your strength," Joey said. 

"But, he can't. He is not a witch," the priest said. 

"Believe me. He is much more than that," Joey said. The chants started gaining momentum. Nicole, Joey and Pietro concentrated their attention while the other three continued the spell. 

Daniel was in the middle of the Pentagon with the Lady Flower in hand. 

Shooni transformed itself into a mighty demon and started to devour everything in its way. A blue whirlwind was created around them. Joey recognized travelling through the same blue vortex before releasing Shooni. 

"It is escaping. Everybody concentrate. Someone is weak here. It should not get into the vortex," Joey shouted. The priest started to pray with all his heart holding Nicole. The extra power did its trick. The spell was completed. 

The Lady Flower in Daniel's hand rose

The Lady Flower in Daniel's hand rose. It transformed into a tree trunk and a majestic lady came out of it.

"Calm down Shooni," she said in the most soothing voice, "you have served well. Your purpose is fulfilled. Times have changed. It is time to rest. Come to mother," she stretched both her hands. 

Shooni saw the souls of its creators in the Lady Flower angel. It flew to her and joined her in the form of a light. The angel smiled at them and entered the bark again, transforming into the Lady Flower. The flower rose out of the Pentagon and disappeared. 

Joey ran to his mother. Debbie was already dead. "Mother, mum, no. Please don't leave me," he cried. 

"Death is but a break my child. I will join you soon," he heard Debbie say. He saw her smiling in the spirit form. "I am safe my prince. There is nothing to worry. I will love you forever," she said disappearing just like the Lady Flower. 

Daniel hugged Joey and Nicole joined them.

One week later

Joey and Daniel were standing before the priest. Each were wearing a blue shawl. Nicole, the police officer Pietro, Celia, Hippolyta, Rumi and many others were gathered around them for their Cherokee style wedding. 

The priest offered first rituals to God Akurath. He had blessed the land selected for marriage for seven full days. 

"I unite you in the eternal bond of marriage," the priest announced. He took out the two blue shawls and joined the couple together with one white shawl. Joey and Daniel both drank from the traditional Cherokee wedding vase with two outlets sealing their marriage.

The event organizer had arranged for an helicopter to throw flowers from the top. Joey looked up as the flowers started to rain. He saw Mushi, God Akurath, Goddess Quan, Goddess Isis, his beloved Unicorn, Pietro, the Sentinels, Cerberus, the Oaklanders and all the others he saw in the other realm blessing them from the skies. 

He bowed to them wholeheartedly. "What are you doing?" Daniel asked. 

"I am bowing to the wonder that is called nature Daniel. It is the reason we are together now," Joey said smiling. 

"Thinking of your mother?" Daniel asked. 

"No. She is there," Joey pointed to Nicole's stomach. 

"I love you Joey," Daniel whispered in his ears. Joey hugged him so tight. "I love you too pig. I will do anything for you."

"Anything?" Daniel asked winking. 

"Of course. But, never ever ever try to buy anything even remotely resembling a clock in your life again," Joey said. They both laughed haughtily getting ready to embark on a new adventure called life.
